Decision_Making_Machine_2009

Edit 6 …
The second marking period project for all of my Science and Technology courses is the Decision Making Machine. The project description with deadlines and grading rubric can be found in the file listed below:
DMM2009.pdf

Note: The size restriction has been changed. Instead of 25 cm x 25 cm 25 cm, your project can have three dimensions that ADD UP to less than 75 cm. In other words, it could be 65 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm without exceeding the size limit!

From the Rubric: "Five points are awarded for a written review of the project after it has been demonstrated in class (details on this assignment to follow)."

Your Written Review:
The review will take the form of a GoogleDoc, shared with your partner and with me. If you already made a GoogleDoc for this project, please continue your work within the same GoogleDoc. The GoogleDoc should contain:
  • Your Input and Output Conditions;
  • Your Logic Diagram (If you need help with this, see the How-To Instructions below!);
  • Your Wiring Diagram (If you need help with this, see the How-To Instructions below!);
  • Your Truth Table Diagram (If you need help with this, see the How-To Instructions below!);
  • The most challenging part of the project for you;
  • Something that set your project apart (made it cool).

How-To Instructions:If you have a paper copy of your diagrams, take a picture of the page through PhotoBooth.
If you have an OmniGraffle document of your diagrams, highlight all of the parts of the diagram, choose File, Export, and confirm that it is a JPEG or PNG. Save it to your desktop. Open your GoogleDoc, choose Insert, Picture, From this computer, and find your picture file. Resize as needed.

Finally, follow this link to give your own evaluation of the project!
